- FIGS. 1 to 4 there is shown one of preferred embodiments embodying the present invention which comprises a feeding mechanism 1 for severing an elongated rubber-covered cord ply, reinforced by steel cords or the like, into a plurality of rubber-covered cord ply segments each having a predetermined length and for supplying the cord ply segments in a feed direction of the feeding mechanism 1 and at a predetermined interval, and a joint mechanism 2 for receiving the cord ply segments from the feeding mechanism 1 and for splicing together the leading end face of one of the cord ply segments and the trailing end face of another cord ply segment positioned in front of one of the cord ply segments.
- a feeding mechanism 1 for severing an elongated rubber-covered cord ply, reinforced by steel cords or the like, into a plurality of rubber-covered cord ply segments each having a predetermined length and for supplying the cord ply segments in a feed direction of the feeding mechanism 1 and at a predetermined interval
- the feeding mechanism 1 is shown in FIGS. 3 and 5 to 11 as comprising a pair of feed rollers 3 and 3' one of which is driven to rotate by a pulse motor 4, a guillotine cutter 5 positioned in front of the rollers 3 and 3' so as to sever an elongated rubber-covered cord ply into a plurality of cord ply segments each having a predetermined length, and a plurality of centering rollers 6 arranged at the rear of the rollers 3 and 3' for centering the elongated rubber-covered cord ply being fed by the rollers 3 and 3'.
- the guillotine cutter 5 includes upper and lower blades 5a and 5b extending at a predetermined angle with respect to the feed direction of the feeding mechanism 1 and relatively movable toward and away from each other.
- the lower blade 5b is assumed to be driven by means of an air cylinder 7 to be brought into engagement with the upper blade 5a.
- the feed mechanism 1 further comprises a feed conveyor 8 positioned in front of the cutter 5 and including a pair of rollers 9 and 9' respectively having center axes spaced apart in parallel from each other, one of the rollers 9 and 9' being driven by means of the pulse motor 4 to rotate at a circumferential speed substantially equal to that of the roller 3, a plurality of endless belts 10 passing on the rollers 9 and 9' in spaced and parallel relationship to each other, and an elongated electromagnet 11 extending longitudinally of the feed conveyor 8 and positioned between the rollers 9 and 9' within the feed conveyor 8 in the vicinity of the upper travelling paths of the endless belts 10 so as to attract steel cords embedded in each of the cord ply segments and thereby to retain each of the cord ply segments on the feed conveyor 8.
- a feed conveyor 8 positioned in front of the cutter 5 and including a pair of rollers 9 and 9' respectively having center axes spaced apart in parallel from each other, one of the rollers 9 and 9' being driven by means of the pulse motor 4 to
- the feed mechanism 1 further comprises a lifting member 12 having a base portion and a plurality of plate portions integral with the base portion and upwardly projecting from the base portion in spaced and parallel relationship to each other so as to pass through gaps formed between the endless belts 10 for lifting each of the cord ply segments, and an air cylinder 13 having a piston rod the leading end of which is securely connected to the bottom surface of the base portion of the lifting member 12.
- the joint mechanism 2 is shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 to 11 as comprising a first conveyor 21 in part overlappedly positioned above the feed conveyor 8 at a predetermined angle with respect to the feed conveyor 8 in such a way that the cord ply segments are consecutively spliced together without altering positions of the segments, a pair of rollers 22 and 22' respectively having center axes spaced apart in parallel from each other, one of the rollers 22 and 22' being driven to rotate at a predetermined circumferential speed, a plurality of endless belts 23 passing on the rollers 22 and 22' in spaced and parallel relationship to each other, and a first retaining member or elongated electromagnet 24 extending longitudinally of the first conveyor 21 and positioned between the rollers 22 and 22' within the first conveyor 21 in the vicinity of the lower travelling paths of the endless belts 23 so as to attract each of the steel cords in the cord ply segments and thereby to retain each of the cord ply segments on a first or lower surface of the first conveyor 21.
- the first conveyor 21 is thus fixed with respect to the feeding mechanism 1 and has a first surface onto which each of the cord ply segments are fed by the feeding mechanism 1 and on which each of the cord ply segments are conveyed by the first conveyor 21 in a first conveyance direction at a predetermined angle with respect to the feed direction of the feeding mechanism 1 and at a first conveyance speed.
- the electromagnet 24 in the first conveyor 21 is larger in magnetic force than the electromagnet 11 in the feed conveyor 8 to the extent that the cord ply segments are able to be transferred from the feed conveyor 8 to the first conveyor 21.
- the joint mechanism 2 further comprises a second conveyor 31 in part overlappedly positioned below the first conveyor 21 so as to receive the cord ply segments conveyed by the first conveyor 21, a pair of rollers 32 and 32' respectively having center axes spaced apart in parallel from each other, one of the rollers 32 and 32' being driven to rotate at a predetermined circumferential speed, a plurality of endless belts 33 passing on the rollers 32 and 32' in spaced and parallel relationship to each other, and a second retaining member or elongated electromagnet 34 extending longitudinally and positioned between the rollers 32 and 32' within the second conveyor 31 in the vicinity of the upper travelling paths of the endless belts 33 so as to attract the steel cords in the cord ply segments and thereby to retain the cord ply segments on a second or upper surface of the second conveyor 31.
- the second conveyor 31 is thus fixed with respect to the first conveyor 21 and has the second surface spaced apart from and in face-to-face relationship to the first surface of the first conveyor 21 for conveying the cord ply segments on the second surface thereof in a second conveyance direction substantially in parallel with the first conveyance direction of the first conveyor and at a second conveyance speed slower than the first conveyance speed of the first conveyor 21.
- the electromagnet 34 in the second conveyor 31 is larger in magnetic force than the electromagnet 24 in the first conveyor 21 to the extent that the cord ply segments are able to be transferred from the first conveyor 21 to the second conveyor 31.
- the portions of the first and second electromagnets 24 and 34 which are overlapped to each other constitute transfer means for transferring each of the cord ply segments on the first surface of the first conveyor 21 to the second surface of the second conveyor 31 while the second conveyor 31 is being operated to move at a speed slower than that of the second conveyor 31 in such a manner that the leading end face of one of cord ply segments is spliced together with the trailing end face of another cord ply segment positioned in front of one of the cord ply segments already transferred on the second conveyor 31.
- the first and second conveyors 21 and 31 are driven by a variable speed electric motor 37 through timing belts 35 and 36, respectively, in such a manner that an accurately speed-controlled transmission gear 38 causes the second conveyor 31 to be driven at a speed slower than that of the first conveyor 21.
- a predetermined length of the elongated rubber-covered cord ply is initially intermittently fed toward the cutter 5 by means of the pulse motor 4.
- a predetermined number of pulses is supplied to the pulse motor 4 to cause the predetermined length of elongated rubber-covered cord ply to pass through the cutter 5 as shown in FIG. 5.
- the elongated rubber-covered cord ply thus fed to the cutter 5 is by no means moved of the feed conveyor 8 since the elongated rubber-covered cord ply is retained by the electromagnet 11.
- the number of pulses fed to the pulse motor 4 is completely correspondent to the predetermined length of the cord ply segment, which makes it easy to set the predetermined length of the cord ply segment.
- the lower blade 5b of the cutter 5 is operated upwardly by the air cylinder 7 and severs the elongated rubber-covered cord ply into the predetermined length of the cord ply segment in cooperation with the upper blade 5a of the cutter as shown in FIG. 6.
- the cutter 5 is held at a predetermined angle with respect to the feed conveyor 8 in such a way that the cord ply segments are consecutively spliced together without altering positions of the segments.
- the cord ply segment thus severed by the upper and lower blades 5a and 5b of the cutter 5 is lifted above the upper path of the feed conveyor 8 by means of the lifting member 12 when the air cylinder 13 is actuated to cause its piston rod to project upwardly until the cord ply segment is lifted up to the lower path of the first conveyor 21 as shown in FIG. 7.
- the cord ply segment is thus brought into contact with the lower surface of the first conveyor 2 and attracted by the electromagnet 24 so that the cord ply segment is retained by the first conveyor 21. In this way, the cord ply segment is transferred from the feed conveyor 8 to the first conveyor 21.
- the air cylinder 13 is again actuated to cause the piston rod downwardly so that the lifting member 12 is moved downwardly to assume its initial position as shown in FIG. 8.
- Such cycles of operations of the cord ply segment being transferred from the feed conveyor 8 to the first conveyor 21 will be repeated after the elongated rubber-covered cord ply is fed to the cutter 5 as shown in FIG. 5.
- the predetermined numbers of cord ply segment each having a predetermined length are retained on the lower face of the first conveyor 21 spaced apart at a predetermined interval from and in parallel with one another.
- the cord ply segments are lined up on the lower surface of the first conveyor 21 at a predetermined angle with respect to the feed direction of the cord ply segment.
- the predetermined numbers of cord ply segments thus retained on the lower surface of the first conveyor 21 is then to be transferred to the upper surface of the second conveyor 31.
- the leading end of the cord ply segment passes over the forward end of the electromagnet 24 in the first conveyor 21 and arrives at the rear end of the electromagnet 34 in the second conveyor 34
- the leading end of the cord ply segment is caused to transfer onto the upper surface of the second conveyor 31 from the lower surface of the first conveyor 21 resulting from the difference between magnetic forces of the electromagnets 24 and 34 in the first and second conveyors 21 and 31 and resulting from gravity of the cord ply segment.
- the cord ply segment is then gradually transferred to the upper surface of the second conveyor 31 from the lower surface of the first conveyor 21, and is finally retained on the upper surface of the second conveyor 31 by means of the electromagnet 34.
- Another or subsequent cord ply segment which follows the cord ply segment in spaced relationship thereto is transferred to the second conveyor 31 in a similar manner.
- the subsequent cord ply segment is forced to move at a same speed as the operation speed of the first conveyor 21 while being retained by the electromagnet 24 in the first conveyor 21 as shown in FIG.
- the compression amount or displacement of the subsequent cord ply segment be 3 to 5 percent of the length of the cord ply segment measured in the feed direction of the cord ply segment.
- the subsequent cord ply segment is gradually increased in contact area with respect to the upper surface of the second conveyor 31 by means of the electromagnet 34 in the second conveyor 31 while moving at a same speed to the operation speed of the second conveyor 31 with the trailing end portion sliding on the lower surface of the first conveyor 21 as shown in FIG. 11.
- the subsequent cord ply segment is finally retained on the upper surface of the second conveyor 31 and has its leading end face firmly jointed to the trailing end face of the cord ply segment already transferred to the second conveyor 31 as shown in FIG. 12.
- the feed conveyor 8 the first conveyor 21 and second conveyor 31 are horizontally positioned as seen from FIGS. 1 to 12 of the drawings, these conveyors 8, 21 and 31 may be vertically or inclinedly positioned.
- electromagnets are employed for attracting the cord ply segments
- permanent magnets may be employed in place of the electromagnets according to the present invention.
